    August 25, 2018 - Delicious! Started with citrus and florals on the nose moving into yellow peach once it opened up, very harmonious wine with great integration of oak, toasted almond, subtle creme brûlée, with a hint of honey and citrusy acidity. Still has another 5 years in it I think but great to drink it now too!

    August 24, 2018 - Light gold. Nose of apricot, rock melon, ripe orange and nuttiness. Palate of ripe mandarin, overripe orange, ripe lemon peel, almond, pineapple and coconut shavings. Long, rich and delicious.

    September 14, 2017 - Under screwcap. Golden colour. Vanillin, spicy oak on opening, giving way, with time, to rock melon, pineapple, honeycomb and sweetened grapefruit. Lush and rich in the mouth. Quite weighty and dense. Tactile and glycerol mouthfeel. Some impression of fruit sweetness. However, with that citric and exotic fruit profile, it's fresh and clean. It's just lacking, for me, the definition, cut and minerality, needed to be really top class. Some evolution, as a positive, apparent. Ready to go now, but, under screwcap, no hurry needed to drink.

    January 5, 2017 - Light golden honey. Peaches and pears.
    Good persistence palate.
    Still fresh. Will last several more years.
    Lacks the minerality of a top notch white burg.
    Very good.

    April 12, 2015 - Had this two days ago. This was quite impressive, having aged into a nice place, with well integrated flavours of pears and butterscotch. Nice concentration too. Dare I say rather Burgundian too, like a village or 1re Puligny. Drinking well now, but should last several years as well (A-).

    Enkel smak, osäker velande eftersmak. Minus för den.
